MOSIiS TRIAL

New YORK, Nov. 2S.--The trial of Johnn
Most, the anarchist, was resumed today.
The court room was thronged and many
women were present, but there was a
noticeable diminution in the glare of red
ribbon and flowers displayed.
Fred Hatcher, the first witness called.
testified that he went into the saloon in the
rear of which Most was making his speech,
and attracted by curiosity went into the
matinee held there. He said Most did not
use the violent language charged against
him. He had never seen Most before and
was not an anarchist, but might yet become
one.
Herman Strelitz, 4 reporter formerly on
the Leader and now on Eolk's ZeitUng,
certified he heard Most's speech. and that
he began with: Fellow Citizens and not
brother Anarchists" As was alleged. He
snu Most threatened no immediate re-
vcnge, but accused Grinnell aud Gary as
murderers of the Chicago anarchists He
also accused Powderly and George of their
murder. for turning the Knights of Labor
from the anarchists. The witness said
Most spoke III q sorrowful tone: every
word came from his heart and went to the
heart. The witness said he was a socialist,
and that he did not think that God bother
ed about such trffling things as perjury.

NETTING OF PASTORS.

CHICAGO, Nov 2S.-At meetingof past ors
of Protestant denominations held today,
the subject of Sabbath Dissertation was dis
cussed to petition congress to enact laws
to dispense with carrying mail and holding
postoffices open on Sunday. The paper is
addressed to the house Of representatives
in congress assembled, and says: 'fThe
telegraph is used to transmit all important
news, and therefore, there is no absolute
necessity for running mails on the Sabbath.
Consequently the running OF mails on
that day is in violation of state laws"
The next paper is addressed to the direc
tors of the railroads in the United States,
and says: The increased rate Of speed of
travel and transportation, aS compared with
that used in the days of our fathers, has so
multiplied the facilities of dispatching
business that there is no necessity of run
ming trains more than six days aweek."
The last paper is addressed to proprietors
OF the public press of the United States
and SAYS: THE Sabbath is the dividing
line between Christianity and heatheism;
that it is the bulwark that shields our
Christian civilization against anarchy and
that every influence that tends to weaken
the power of the Sabbath over the public
conscience endangers the s liability of our
Republican institutions; that the business
of publishing and selling newspapers on
the Sabbath is in open violation OF our
state laws. We therefore respectfully re-
quest YOU to discontinue the publication
of newspapers on Sunday"

: A Story of Tom Nfoaro.

An old lady who used to be much in Lon
don society relates 4 touching stery Of the
poet Moore. On one occasion, when tie bril-
liant wit and writer was in his old age losing
his memory, the American was asked to sing
for a small company Of which lie Yves one.
She complied with the request, and sang:
believe me If ali these eadearing young
charms The poet listened with evident
pleasure to his famous and charming piece,
and when the singer finished be said with
much earnestness:
"Win you please tell me who wrote that
beautiful songT
"Why, Er. Moore" she answered, "you
certainly can't expect NE to believe that vou
have forgotten your own work. The old man
regarded her an instant with pathetic lock,
the consciousness and infrmity Of his broken
mind evidently forcing itself upon him Then
he buried bis face in his hands and burst into
tears. Tom Moore. the brilliant, fiery favor
tie of London society, could only weep for
what he was in remembering what he had
been.-Boston Courier.

Federal Entry into sicKspurs.

was standing in front of our head
quarters when the Federal army made
their grand entry into Eicksburg. They
were good way Of when We first heard
their drums as they sounded the tum-
tum, and every ear was turned TO the
quarter from whence this came to make
out what they were playing. Various
guesSes were offered in that direction, but
were all given up, one by one, as the wind
lulled or shifted and the sounds got so
terribly mixed up that not the most perfect
master Of music could say for certainty
that they expressed any tune at all At
last somebody exclaimed: why, that is
Yankee Doodle" As the Federal column
came into view every drummer and fifer in
the whole grand army played Yankee
Doodle" as loud and as strong as it was
possible for them TO make it-W. c.

Upon the signal from the leader the orchestra
plays a railroad galop and the gentlemen
march into the room initiating a train At
the sound of whistle the train stops and the
leader calls the name Of enc Of the stations

What a Street Car Driver Says

1t makes mighty sight of difference with
fellow to know his horses. BY always driv-
ing the same team the horses set SO that they
know whas you are doing. Some men cannot
drive team on the road at all unless they
have polo between the horses, and a pole is
an awful nuisance in street car driving, es-
pccislly in eases of threatened accident. In the
seven years that have been driving | have
had many narrow escapes by being able to
turn the horses quickly to one side or the
other You can't do that with pole. I have
never had anything TO happen TO me beyond
the smashing OF window. That happened
snee in front of the Aston house, where 8
tIucknan was backing cut with @ lead. The
worst trouble we have Is with the women who
90 out into the middle of the street and dodge
back and forth. If they would stand still we
would know just what to do with cur car and
our horses, but they make dash across the
street. then jump back, and then dash for
ward, and then make another dash back, so
that in the uncertainty Of what they are go
ing to do il is wonder that We do not run
over a woman every day.
The general average Of street csr drivers
have their wits so much shout them that If a
person who happens to get in trent of car
will only stand still there is not the slightest
danger Of his being run over Most of the
men in New York have come to understand
this, and you rarely hear Of an accident in
which a man is run over by street car.
How many people do we take up and down
on the routel Wei, that depends on the
hour Of cur trip. On this trip, on which I
started at 10 O'Clock, we viii probably bavc
eighty fares going down to the Battery.
Later III the day coming up We have as high
as 1se. and from that on up 70 $50 OF course,
the more passengers we take on the harder it
is to make cur trip on time and the mora
work IL is fer the drivers-New York Trib-

tn. r<.,,,,. Of Daughters.

We say our sons have to use their heads;
they must be well trained. Housewofk Is
| merely physical labor; any girl OF common
sense can pick it up This is where the mis-
take lies, and women are just beginning to
realize it. Housekeeping, in the right sense of
the word, is not mere physical labor. It re-
ouires as much "head work" to keep house
| successfully as to build house successfully;
| ard yet we mothers send our daughters out
into the business of life with no practical
training whatever, and expect them to make
and keep their homes in way that shall in
sure the largest amount Of happiness to them
selves and families! 1t is too much to ask
girl with no experience TO enter this profes-
sion of housekeeping and make success of it,
How often we hear mother say: Il shall
| not put my daughter into the hard work;
she will come into it fast enough when she
has a home of her own" That daughter
LOOKS upon housekeeping from her mothers
standpoint-as a disagreeable duty to be
shirked as long rs possible. When she mar
ries she makes copy of her mothers @cook
book" and starts out on the journey OF life
with no thought of delays and accidents by
the vav-for has she not her "cook book"
Nine times out of ten she comes home at the
end of a year. tired of the whole affair, the
freshness of her young ambition gone, her
mind tired with constant WORKINGS over
small things, and her physical strength ex-
hausted by the many new demands upon It,
Gould not that mother have saved her daugh-
ter many hours of unhappiness and discom-
fort by judicious course of training and in
struction.
The housekeeper is the captain of great
ship, and she needs to understand it in every
part to guide it successfully into the port OF
happiness housekeeping, rightly conducted
and thoroughly understood, is pleasure and
comfort to a woman. Women dislike it
because they do not understand it. They do
not look into it and see the poetry in all its
little homely details. They are utterly I'M
happy it anything befalls the rrusty servant
and they are obliged for few days to do
their own work, and they are the very women
who make most complaintof the scarcity and
general incompetence of the average hired
girl" This is the whole secret Of the ser
want girl" question. --Good Housekeeping.
